Delving Deeper into History

It's a common misconception to imagine Vikings charging into battle with metal helmets. Surprisingly, the dominant material was likely leather, lightweight yet sturdy. The iconic image of horned helmets associated with the Vikings is more fiction than fact. Such helmets, if they existed, were ceremonial, predating the Viking era. This popular horned helmet imagery can be traced back to the dramatic interpretations of 19th-century operas, showcasing how art can influence and reshape historical perceptions.

Size & Fit

  • Universal Adaptability: Crafted with precision, the helmet ensures a comfortable fit for most head sizes, merging historical design with contemporary wearability.

Great looking and good quality

I have it proudly displayed and am very happy with it, I wish it was a little bigger but that's what 1 size fits most means.

One of my favorite helmets

Very high quality helmet, I have several helmets to match my swords and it’s one of my favorites to show , it’s the only one made almost entirely of boiled leather with a great deal of detail and as far as I learned very true to the original helmets worn by the Vikings
